the funniest part was listening to Lampley spending rounds 5 to 9 slowly attempting to unearth the flag he was busy planting up Cotto's ass for the first 1/3 of the fight... even funnier when Pacquiao was on the ropes in like the 4th round and Lampley nearly sucked Cotto's **** from the desk only to have Emmanuel Steward PWN his ass and say "i think he's just taking a breather."

Jim seriously needs to be facepalmed by his wife.

Haha, Lampley is always excitable. I didn't mind him too much, he gives Pacquiao his just due.

I'd put a prime Roy Jones Jr. in that category. It's just too bad there were no other quality Light Heavies or Middleweights to sufficiently challenge him.

Well, none that Roy wanted any part of...

Eh who exactly did he duck?

Fight I want to see in 2010: Pacquiao vs Mosley
-would not create as much buzz, but it would be a better fight IMO. Both fighters don't back down and have good chins.

Fight we will see in 2010: Pacquiao vs Floyd
-I think Floyd will win an overhyped fight that will see Manny chasing Floyd around the ring for 12 rounds.

Lets fill up Staples with a Mosley vs Manny fight!! Would be great for LA. I'm hoping the Floyd/Manny contract negotiations break down for this to happen. I'm not holding my breath though.

What's with all these BS steroid allegations for Pacquiao that were started by a crackhead named Floyd Mayweather Sr. That predator-looking mother****er needs to STFU as he could only wish he had a fighter like Manny to train.

I'd love to see a Pacquiao-Mosley fight. You make all the relevant points. Only problem is Sugar Shane is a Golden Boy fighter and Floyd's next fight is under the Golden Boy banner. If negotiations breakdown between Arum and Richard Schafer, I don't see them going to a Pacquiao-Mosley fight as a back up. Maybe but there's too much money on the table to not make that Pacquiao-Mayweather fight.

You're right though, I bet Mayweather's plan will be to potshot Pacquiao and get on his bike. Similar to what he did to Carlos Baldomir. If Pacquiao can cut off the ring, something he didn't do when Cotto got on his bike, Mayweather will be forced into a fight.

You can bet Floyd will watch rounds 1-2 of the Manny/Cotto fight for a blueprint on how to win a fight vs Pacquio. Jab Jab hook...get out. Problem for Cotto was he couldn't get out quick enough. Floyd will not have that problem.

And we'll all get liquored up, plump down 60.00$, invite all of our friends over, and wonder what all of the hype was all about.

If anyone is quick enough and fast enough to cut off the ring vs Floyd, it's Manny. Manny should do his best to sh** talk Floyd for the next 6 months to try and goat him into actually fighting, but I think Lil' floyd is too smart for that game.

And as far as Sugar Shane goes....he still has to beat a young and fast Berto in January.

Calling my shot right now, Rafael Marquez will beat Juan Manuel Lopez next week.
